Customer Questions and Answers for Igniter Switch (Spark) by Whirlpool

Replacement igniter switch that restores spark ignition for gas cooktops and ranges, helping burners light reliably and reducing intermittent or no-ignite symptoms. Designed as a like-for-like control component when your original switch fails. What it does:

• Sends the electrical spark signal to the burner ignition circuit so the burner lights
• Stops clicking or sparking when the switch fails, which can cause burners not to ignite
• Addresses symptoms like intermittent ignition, continuous clicking without flame, or no spark from the burner electrode
• Works as the control point between user knob/ignition module and the spark system

• Turn off power to the appliance and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Replace with the exact part number and match connector types; do not force-fit a non-matching switch
• After installation, test burners for proper ignition and check for gas leaks before normal use
